Facts & Tips
• The Home deck is your WAP service
main menu.
• The scroll bar at the right-hand side
of the display indicates the amount of
text before and after that actually
shown in the display.
• The data online indicator
is
flashing only during a data call. Under
Display symbols on p. 77 you can see
other indicators related to the WAP
browser.
• The editor modes
and
cannot be used when operat-
ing the WAP browser.
• The cache is a special memory
where the cards you have visited dur-
ing an Internet session are stored.
When you return to a previously visit-
ed card, the browser will display it
from the cache instead of retrieving it
again from the server, which results in
a much shorter access time.
